I am showing this as private property on the tax map. I will research further. I do see the signage that makes it look like a municipal lot, so i am very confused. Tax map is listing it as belonging to the condominium association next to it. My tax info is out dated (2015), but I have no idea why the City would have bought the lot.

A dumpster only needs a permit if it is in the public right of way.

Althea, I didn't post this but I think the person who did listed the wrong address. This parking lot is on the northwest side of Second Street between Brunswick & Colgate Streets.

OH! Got it. Thank you. The original poster knows their stuff, so I did not question the location.

The Parking Lot is at 406-408 Second.

Althea - Roofers were doing work on the house on 3rd Street and decided to place an illegal dumpster in the 2nd Street municipal lot.

The roofers also left debris -Division of Sanitation Dispatch commented on Litter Dumping by Business Contractor (#16459814) within The Village - in the lot that had to be picked up by DPW.

Everyone who has parking permits for the lot had to park in the street (well into the evening) and was subject to possible parking tickets for street parking.

This contractor should be issued a summons.

Got it. This is not a traffic engineering issue or under Infrastructure at all, but I am working on finding out which division should handle. There is no one in our Department that has the ability to issue any summonses. I just wanted to figure this out instead of passing it around.

The original picture shows the garbage chute that was used from the roof of the house on 3rd Street into the 2nd Street municipal lot

This is a picture of the contractor working in the parking lot. you can see the debris and ladder being used.

I figured it out and will follow up.

I really appreciate the images and the detailed information. They are a great help.

Thank you Althea.

A lot of City resources were used on a contractor that wasn’t doing the right thing.

As I understand it, police were also called.

Was the dumpster removed?

Yes - they took it last night
The contractor left debris that was picked up by Sanitation today

Ah, got it. I did not know the dumpster is already removed. Glad to hear it and thank you for being so vigilant!

Althea - Can you please forever this back to construction code? The contractor is currently throwing roofing materials off the roof of the building on 3rd Street into the back of a pickup parked in the parking lot

*forward

I was there today and chased the company out of the lot. Our team will issue summonses for anything that we can. I have the contact information for the company in case another office needs it.

Thanks for fixing this request!
